On February 6, China Postal Express & Logistics Co., Ltd. and YXE Trading Service Group held a signing ceremony of a strategic cooperation agreement. Under the agreement, the two parties will jointly explore the trade market in the Belt and Road countries, improve the international logistics service network, and innovate logistics and transportation models. They will work together to advance the market-oriented reform of the Yixin’ou (Yiwu-Xinjiang-Europe) China-Europe Railway Express (hereinafter referred to as CR Express) and strive to build a world-class leading CR Express logistics consolidation center.

Since the launch of the Yiwu-Madrid China-Europe freight train in 2014, the Yixin’ou CR Express has become an iconic project showcasing the deep integration of Zhejiang into the Belt and Road Initiative and a shining example of Zhejiang’s high-level opening-up. To date, the Yixin’ou CR Express has operated more than 15,000 trains and shipped more than 1.25 million TEUs. With 26 routes covering 160 cities across over 50 countries and regions, the Yixin’ou CR Express consistently ranks fourth in China and first in the Yangtze River Delta in terms of the scale and service quality. In 2025, the CR Express operated 3,005 trains and shipped 244,700 TEUs, a year-on-year increase of 14.3 percent.
